McCall refunded $237K for failing downtown concrete

The City of McCall will receive a $237,000 refund for curb, gutter and sidewalk work completed in 2020 on Second and Lenora streets in downtown McCall.Sunroc Corporation, a Boise construction company, agreed to reimburse the city for the work after concrete the company poured in 2019 and 2020 began failing within the two-year warranty period.The reimbursement was approved last week by the McCall City Council.The concrete failures were first identified by Horrocks Engineers of Meridian, the city’s contract engineer, and later confirmed by an independent third party.Sunroc completed some repairs in 2022, but most of the repairs have not yet been completed due to a lack of available contractors.The city plans to use the refunded money to hire a contractor of its choosing to complete the repairs, McCall Public Works Director Nathan Stewart said.The work completed by Sunroc was among the first phases of a rebuild of downtown streets and sidewalks that began in 2018 and continues this summer with a rebuild of First Street.So far, the project has rebuilt streets and sidewalks on Park Street, Second Street, Lenora Street and Veteran’s Alley.
